Every time I do a pc restart, magicJack asks for my registration information. Is this data not saved so magicJack can rely on it the next time it starts up?

Also, how do I stop magicJack from auto-starting? I have created a seperate shortcut and specfic spoof file which I would rather run, instead of getting the open dialog, etc.

Thanks.

To stop MJ from autostarting when you insert the device, disable autorun (globally, or for the MJ pseudo CD-ROM).

To stop MJ from autostarting when the device is present upon reboot, disable cdloader2 from running.

If you run magicjack.exe directly from a shortcut, you must configure the Target with proper command line parameters; search this forum for details.

I don't know why it's asking you to register each time; perhaps it's unable to update the USB disk drive. If you are using a shortcut to magicjack.exe, try pointing _magicJackPersonalDataRoot to a folder on your hard drive, e.g. C:\magicJack .

Note that when you do the above you won't get automatic updates. If you miss a critical one, your MJ service may cease to function. Be sure that you have a reliable alternate means of making an emergency call.
